"Thanks." Aaron would make a counterpoint to that, but she'd just told him to stop and didn't look inclined to hear more on the subject. It's not self deprecation so much as he went out hoping to learn and to show he's actually worth something, and came back having done neither.

"It's honestly my bad. Yeah I said I don't babysit, but I didn't really have the time to teach you anything either." she sighs.

Kind of stung." He's not getting snippy with her, even giving her a little faint smile. It's just that dry wit that comes with near death experiences. Also whatever she's dancing around, he's too high on morphine to appreciate the vagueness. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

It's not really an argument so much as a dumbstruck statement. Was he just not worth pulling out a medigun? Or some of her literal magic? "What, what can I do? I don't want this to be the end, it can't be... people need me, I can't stop being Paradigm, I can't sit out, I can't just..." Be broken, useless, worthless.

She had heard about the... accident? Was it an accident? She shrugged as she wandered down the halls, pealing an apple with one of her knives. She seemed to be feeling better. Stopping by his room, she leaned in, noticing he already had company. "Ah... Bad timing?" she asked, leaning against the doorframe and not entering the room.

He's half high on morphine, desperate for some kind of solution, horrified and anguished. And still feeling pain. He straight up doesn't even acknowledge Leif, not as an intentional diss, just too focussed on Nicky. « Last Edit: Mar 21, 2016 22:21:13 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die... ๖ۣValencia Tiao Hero Miss Fortune Now what?

Though yeah, prosthetics and cyber limbs are a thing, he knows that, in the current mindset fresh from all this they just didn't come to mind as a thing to say. "I was going to look into those, wouldn't be the first time the docs have put prosthetics or cyber limbs on people..." He tries to put some strength into his nod, though at the voices to the side and Nicky's glance over he looks and finally notices Val and Leif, blinking and looking ashamed - both at them seeing him like this, and how upset Val looks. "Oh, God, Va- uh, Agent Tiao, are you okay? I'm sorry." He tries to push himself up as if getting up to go over, but as he gets to the motion where he would normally swing his legs off the bed and stand, he looks pained both physically and emotionally before sitting back down. Leif isn't ignored either, as he gives her a wave. "Hey, Leif." Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...
